Small-town drama…Big-time feelings…

Welcome back to the small town of Smile! Jilly + Levi = Swoon!! This was a sweet and cozy read! I really liked the small town/summer camp vibes. I loved Jilly and Levi’s story - they had good chemistry and I really liked how their relationship developed.

Levi cooks! I love it when the MMC can cook - add s’mores into the mix and I am sold! I also loved his relationship with Jilly’s daughter Ollie. No spoilers, but you will love the ending!!

I really love how the start of this book started off with a high school reunion; it seemed to be the perfect way to really introduce the characters. Jillian Keller has really struggled with settling back into her hometown of Smile - this time it's as a single mom of a young daughter, Ollie, and she's not going to let anyone disrupt her routine.

This is a second chance romance, so obviously there's a history, but I absolutely loved how he was all in from the very beginning. Levi is just truly impressive - he's loving and generous with his time, and the way he treats both Jillian, and her daughter is a really beautiful thing.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a quick, feel-good read with a great cast of small-town characters (some of whom were giving me big Gilmore Girls vibes!). Not a lot happens plot-wise — the main characters are great at communication and solving conflict, which is wonderful for them but ultimately doesn’t make for the most engaging story. I also wish there was a bit more justification for why the main characters fall for each other, besides the fact that they were childhood crushes. Part of that is personal preference; I’m a big fan of the slow burn. One of my favorite parts of the book was the relationship between Levi and his dad. As someone who also moved away from their family and their hometown, I felt like their conflict was realistic, and it explored the topic in a more nuanced way than I’ve seen in other small-town romances. I recommend this book if you’re looking for a fun, charming, and easy romcom.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

I 100% love this book and this series. Second chance, brother’s best friend, single parent, small town. The tropes are here and I love it. I mean Levi. In love. And he can cook?!? And her parents house 🥹😭

And omg the uncles. I literally want to go back and visit Smile every chance I can.


Looking at you Gray………..

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to read and review.

I am not sure why I didn’t connect with this one as much as I expected to, it just didn’t grab and keep my attention, it’s not a bad book by any means, it just wasn’t necessarily for me. But I could see a lot of people really loving this

I haven't been a fan of Sullivan's books after the first one in the radio show series, but this one brought me back to her side. I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters and the side characters were enjoyable as well.

Jillian is a single mom after removing her jerk of an ex-husband from her and her daughter's life. She's now living in her hometown of Smile and helping run her brother's resort. And then, suddenly, Levi Bright turns back up in Smile. Levi is probably best described as the one who go away, but it turns out that he would say the same about Jillian. He left for culinary school and she didn't and their would have been slipped by. But anyway, essentially, immediately upon reconnecting the two realize that there's still an attraction there. What they're also dealing with, though, are issues in their personal lives. For Levi, he came back to Smile partially because he was ready to come back home and partially because his dad had surgery and he wants to be there for him. Except Levi and his dad aren't actually getting along. At all. For Jillian, it's a low level of anxiety and panic that keeps ratcheting up due to outside forces and an inability to accept that things are changing because of said anxiety and panic.

I found Jillian remarkably relatable because I too get overwhelmed and want to scream and shut down when too many things seem to be changing at the same time and I'm not in control. Unfortunately, this was one of those times where seeing yourself in the main character makes you fully aware that it's unfair to be disliking them and yet finding yourself unable to stop. It's just that Levi was so wonderful that her panicking and pushing him away felt so truly unfair! And yet, to be loved like that. You know? All I'm saying is that a man who cooks for you should be treasured. And I would like to try that s'mores cake.

I guess to try and make this review something that could help someone outside of past me, what I'm telling you is that this book is about a man who is down bad for this woman and the woman is unable to trust or believe him because men. And if you are feeling disillusioned about the world and would find that to be a comfort, pick this book up. But if that would make you want to scream for some reason, maybe try a different book. Hopefully that somehow helps you know if this is the one for you... Seems unlikely, but here's hoping anyway.

Sophie Sullivan continues her series based in Smile, Wisconsin, home of the Get Lost Lodge. The only Keller sister, Jillian, reconnects with her teenage crush, Levi, and sparks fly! Jillian has to keep the needs of her daughter, Ollie, in mind as she fights her attraction to Levi, as well as the fact that he is long time friends with her two brothers. Levi is instantly smitten and pursues her as he finds his place back in Smile after a long absence establishing his career as a chef. He must repair his relationship with his father before life will be complete. A fun, sweet romance where the door is cracked a little, but not flung open wide. Now to read some of Sullivan's previous books!

After her divorce Jilly brought her daughter home to Smile and the arms of her family. She needed to figure out what was next. Four years later, she's found her place working with her family and looking for new ways to keep the guests of Get Lost Lodge entertained. Jilly and Ollie have found comfort and quiet joy in working with her brothers.

Levi's dad had expectations that Levi would join him as part of his repair and remodeling business. Levi had other plans for his life. Instead of going to college, Levi headed for the big city and culinary school. Now he's had it with the city and is back in Smile. He's missed home, but not the tension that still sits between him and his dad. Levi has some ideas of what he wants to do next, but first he wants to settle back into the small town life.

Levi always had a thing for Jilly. Now that they're both back in town. Levi is determined to revive their friendship, and maybe more. Jilly's divorce has made her afraid to trust, afraid to take a chance. Levi has time and he's not about to give up.

Each page of this story is infused with warmth, with friendship and with love. Add to that a dash of humor and your basic close knit family type drama. Levi has an easy going manner and a sensitive heart. He remembers good times with his dad as a kid and he dearly wants that back. Jilly's brothers, Grayson and Beckett, do what big brothers do teasing and taunting her, but offering her love, support and a shot in the arm when that's what she needs

It was the setting of the story that led me to read the first book. It was the characters and the emotions that drew me in and kept me reading. And it was the promise of both that brought me to this book. I am happy to say, I wasn't disappointed.

So, I did feel like there were some parts that kind of dragged out but overall the story was enjoyable. Jillian, back home helping her family and building her life back up after a terrible marriage has to decide if risking her stability and heart to the boy, now a man she has always loved is worth it. Levi, back home for good, must decide if the risk of losing his best friends (family) is worth pursing the girl, now woman he always held a torch for. Throw in a daughter for Jillian, very protective brothers, ex drama, a rift between Levi and his dad, and fear of making the wrong choice for everyone, they have to decide if the risk is worth the reward. You also get some information about her brother who I gathered was the focus of a previous story, and potentially her older brother as the focus of the next.

Another adorable story set in the lovable, small town of Smile. I enjoyed getting to know Levi, who was a childhood friend of the Kellers. He moved away to peruse his career as a chef and returned to settle down in his hometown. The tension and chemistry between Levi and Jilly is evident from the beginning, picking up where they left off all those years ago. Similar to book one, I loved the side characters and Get Lost Lodge setting. Being a single mom, Jilly is hesitant to let someone take her time away from her daughter, Ollie but Levi fits right in. The relationship between Ollie and Levi was so sweet.🥹 Overall, a quick, enjoyable read!

Sophie Sullivan is an auto-buy author for me, and I always enjoy supporting my friend. While the beginning of "Get Lost with You" started off slowly, the second half of the book was engaging and definitely worth it. Levi was the standout character for me; I loved how supportive he was of Jillian and how adorable he was with her daughter, Ollie.

I had forgotten that I had read Sophie's other book where one of the brothers meets someone at the lodge. I loved that book so much, and to realize partway through this was a runoff story about the sister finding love again was so exciting. As we all know, in most books there's a period of both characters pushing themselves away from each other before realizing they are actually meant to be. This book was refreshing for its immediate connection. There is no fighting it right from the start; almost instantly both Jilly and Levi touch each other, almost kiss, and you just get to read about their love evolving and deepening. Sometimes books do this, and it feels rushed and inauthentic. Not in "Get Lost With You" it's perfectly plotted and well rounded.

Thank you, Netgalley, for my ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

- Small town romance
- Second chance
- Single mother
- Friends to lovers

This is an adorable story set in the small town of Smile. I mean, that really sets the tone for the book. I found myself smiling multiple times while reading. This is not a true second chance romance as the couple never were together previously. But she always liked him...

Jilly has moved back to Smile with her young daughter Ollie after her marriage ends. Currently, she lives with her parents, who are going to begin travelling to follow their favorite band (this is serious life goals for me, so I was thrilled for them!) She is working at her brother's resort and is mostly content with her life.

Then she finds out that her childhood love Levi has returned to town. He has moved back because his father had surgery, plus he missed the small town and its quirky residents. And he notices that Jilly has grown into a beautiful woman. Now that he's interested in her, she starts to pull away due to trust issues.

Are these two destined for each other...or destined to only be friends?

Get Lost with You gave cozy, small town vibes. While this. is the second book in the series it works as a standalone book. I did not read book 1 first and did not know at any point that this was the second in a series. I am looking forward to going back and reading the first one. I would give this book 3.5 stars because it met my expectations but didn't surprise me in anyway.

5/5 ⭐️ This was my first read by Sophie Sullivan and it won't be my last! Book number 2 in her Rock Bottom Love Series follows single mom Jillian and Chef Levi both back in their hometown. Their love story is definitely one to swoon over! I can't wait to read more of this series. Highly recommend to all your rom-com readers!

Sophie Sullivan did a fantastic job with creating characters who are lovable and had a meaningful second change relationship. This book is perfect for those who love second chance relationships & family love--the unconditional, undying family love!

Sophie's books are always a warm hug and this one is no different. I loved the first installment of the Get Lost Lodge and this continued the good vibes and sweet feelings I wanted for Jilly. I was into this from the first page and I'm SO excited to read everything Sophie writes in the future.

Jilly has moved back to her hometown of Smile with her daughter, and has made a life for herself helping run her family's lodge. Levi has moved back to town after a successful career as a chef on the East Coast, and is reconnecting with his hometown and his friends, Jilly's brothers. This is the story of Levi and Jilly getting reacquainted and a will they/won't they about a second chance! Really loved this one!

Thank you for letting me read an early copy of this book. It was a lovely second-chance romance story and the characters were wonderful. The pacing of the story could have used some work (especially the extra long bedroom scenes). Overall, though, Get Lost With You was a nice quick beach read!
